Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug in children with leukemia or lymphoma who have relapsed after previous treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (LL). They should have a certain level of bone marrow blasts, measurable disease, and be in good enough health to participate. Patients must not have been treated with palbociclib before and should meet specific heart, kidney, and liver function requirements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the drug palbociclib combined with standard chemotherapy in pediatric patients who've had ALL or LL return after treatment. Palbociclib will be given at a starting dose of 50 mg/m^2/day for 21 days alongside re-induction chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk, bleeding or bruising; fatigue; nausea; hair loss from chemotherapy; and potential heart or liver issues due to medication toxicity.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (Palbociclib)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
Patients receive Palbociclib 50 mg/m^2 (starting dose with maximum dose of 100 mg) PO (or via NG-tube) once daily on Days 1-21; Intrathecal cytarabine (IT ARAC) age-based dosing on Day 1, Doxorubicin 60 mg/m^2 IV push or infusion over 1-15 min on Day 4; Prednisone or prednisolone 40 mg/m^2 PO divided BID or TID on days 4-31; Vincristine 1.5 mg/m^2 (maximum dose 2 mg) IV push or mini-bag per institutional policy on days 4, 11, 18, and 25; and Pegaspargase 2500 IU/m^2 IV over 1-2 hours on Days 5, and 18. If CNS3 leukemia is present, patients receive Intrathecal Triple Therapy (ITT) age-based dosing on days 4, 11, 18, and 25. Patients known to be CNS3 at study entry may receive ITT on Day 1 rather than IT ARAC. If CNS1 and 2 leukemia present, patient receive Methotrexate (IT MTX) age-based dosing on Days 18 and 32. Treatment will be given for one cycle, 32 days, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Could you please elucidate on any other research pertaining to Palbociclib?

"At the moment, 1129 clinical trials are underway that involve Palbociclib. Of those active studies, 302 have reached Phase 3 of testing. Though Changsha in Hunan Province is home to most research on this medication, 50836 other sites across the globe are engaging with these experiments as well."

Answered by AI

Are there any open slots available for participants in this research project?

"At this time, no patients are being accepted for the described study which was published on April 11th 2019 and edited most recently on February 25th 2022. However, 2901 studies recruiting people with T-Cell Leukemia and 1129 trials looking at Palbociclib as a treatment option remain open for enrollment."

Answered by AI

What is the upper capacity for enrollees in this clinical experiment?

"This medical trial is currently not recruiting participants. It was first introduced on April 11th, 2019 and the most recent update occurred February 25th, 2022. There are presently 2901 studies actively searching for patients with T-cell leukemia and 1129 trials hunting down Palbociclib users."

Answered by AI

To what condition is Palbociclib primarily prescribed?

"Palbociclib is a viable therapeutic approach to combat ailments such as ulcerative colitis, varicella-zoster virus acute retinal necrosis, and multiple myeloma."

Answered by AI

What is the full scope of locations where this research is being conducted?

"This study is currently running in 19 different hospitals, including Children's Hospital of Orange County and Primary Children's Hospital. One can also find sites at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, as well as 16 other locations."

Answered by AI

What are the primary goals this research is aiming to achieve?

"This upcoming medical trial intends to measure the half-life of Palbociclib over a 4 year period. Auxiliary objectives include quantifying median values for absolute peripheral blast count, phospho-RB1 expression, and RB1 expression in relation to dose levels of the study drug."

Answered by AI

What are the criteria for inclusion in this research trial?

"This clinical trial has need of 15 individuals with T-cell leukemia between the ages of 12 Months and 31. Participants must meet certain criteria, including having ≥ 5% (M2 or M3) bone marrow blasts with or without an extramedullary site of relapse; being able to walk in a wheelchair; receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy or other myelosuppressive anti-cancer agents; suffering from recurrent/refractory B/T-lineage lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, measurable/evaluable disease for LL patients, first+ relapsed T-ALL/LL & second+ relapsed B-"

Answered by AI

Are elderly individuals eligible for enrollment in this research endeavor?

"As per the requirements for eligibility, minors over 12 months old up to 31 years of age can partake in this clinical trial."

Answered by AI

How does Palbociclib impact safety for those who ingest it?

"Palbociclib received a score of 1, as this is an early stage trial and there are not many data points indicating its safety or effectiveness."
